Weekly Update 4/2026 — Party Hat On, Sanity Off (Patreon)

This week, I once again managed to get an unexpected amount of work done.

Rendering for Day 3 of Chapter 2 is almost finished.It turns out you can accomplish quite a lot if you wake up at 5:00 and go to bed at 22:00, just like a well-behaved medieval monk. I’ll continue to push forward next week.

And now… the real headline...

Today. Today it happens.The Steam release of Chapter 1. A huge milestone.

I’ve already bought a party hat, a whistle, and — let’s be honest — alcohol. This needs to be celebrated.Unless, of course, the Mac version explodes...

I am not a Mac user. I packaged the game exactly according to the instructions, tried to simulate launches via GitHub, and theoretically, everything works. But I haven’t actually seen it run with my own eyes.

Gatekeeper is a known issue with Ren’Py games and is usually easy to bypass — but is there something else?Do you know?Have you played the Mac version?

If yes, please tell me now, while I’m still sober and can fix things.Later, it will be too late.Later, I’ll be drunk and writing rude replies to bad Steam reviews.

That’s it. I think my mental breakdown process is now officially complete.

Have a great weekend.And if you’ve ever played Special Request on Mac — seriously, let me know.

Nemiegs, going down the drain.

Atā, čau.
